Hello people!
I will have a long term side fun challenge
where I try to run up $10 into $1000
RULES:
I will play exclusively when I can't play my regular stakes when
- I'm tired
- tilted
- hit stop-loss for the day
- am ill
- it's late at night, my games don't run
- when recording microstakes coachings
So I play some poker instead of video games and watching shows. Expect low volume, volatile results
I might even stream some
Let's see how we do, this will be a marathon!
Cashgames, SNG, HUSNG, MTT, INSTANT ALL-INS - everything goes.

I'll play without a hud as it's just to relax so I'll post hours and multiply them by hands every week

WEEK1 - WAS ILL SO GOT VOLUME!
Next week I'll be happy if I put in a couple hours

HOURS: 11
Hands: 1320
SnGs:6
BR start:$10
BR end:$36.27 , +$26.27

NO HUD OR TRACKER so the volume is approximation (2 table cash games at a time , 1 table with SnGs)

Tonight 20:00 @ https://www.twitch.tv/pokerstrategydotcom to see where and how I play without a HUD

I just realized Mr. RukovGrind needed 100,000 hands to go from $100 to $1,000
We're increasing BR 10x more as we start at $10 so we might need 1,000,000 hands
with 1,000 hands per week this challenge will be complete in a beatiful year 2036 ladies and gentlemen xD

What's up boys and girls
Only put in a couple tourneys last week, this week didn't play so far, I'll try to put in a few hands tomorrow

I probably did tilt last couple weeks, but the results have been great (Made $1.2k 4 tabling NL50 without a HUD in 2 weeks, the most yet) so I didn't realize and there wasn't need to tilt on stream :P

So I will at least leave you with Stars support emails
From back when they moved to Starcoins and I had a few missing for a bonus

ME:

THEIR RESPONSE:

I actually took her, and it was good fun :D

Wow this is harder than it seems
Last week took a break
Week6 just a couple SnGs
Managed to lose this pre-flop All-in oops :)

I've actually instead of streaming been going back to real life activities when tired/tilted.
In total I clocked in over 33productive IRL hours there every week past 3 weeks

That counts time spent with girlfriend
Meeting new people through meetup.com
I went meditating next to the river multiple times
Went to a cool concert
Mother's 60th birthday in the woods
Some EU festival thingy
Zen Meditation Group
Gym with a buddy

And others instead of streaming
So We'll see how it goes I'm gonna try to throw in a few hours this week again :)

And when I did play this genius won AI PF vs me like this :]

Actually managed to put in 30 mins grind today!
Felt unfocused at NL50 - NL100 so went for it
Turns out I needed to just poop out the 2kg of chicken wings I shared with my girlfriend last night

AA hand
PRE
Open UTG, get a couple callers, and small blind squeezes large to 25 big blinds

Spoiler

I think the right play here is to always flat with his way too large sizing
As it'll be easy to get it in postflop against him, and we get to let one of the weaker players come along

And we win a nice pot, getting extra 100bb than if we 4bet

Spoiler



next hand
We raise, get to go 3 way on the flop
FLOP
I'd flat always without reads here
-we have a lot of draws, weaker pairs etc. that it's great to keep stronger hands in
And SB should be 55,66 heavy and have not so many draws so when we get it in we often are flipping or pretty much destroyed .

But i had a read that this guy's too loose, and pots on really bad boards for it
So went with my read there

Spoiler


Shoved the turn after he called and had a nice sized pot again

Spoiler


Well that's all folks
I think I'll only put in challenge in the challenge if I run terribly bad over the next 3 days and need to de-tilt

WEEK16
Hands played: 2,000
BR:$312.18
BR: $252.62
Profit: $59.56

THESE CHESTS ARE SO ADDICTIVE
I must say on this Cheezburger challenge I'm basically just a rec player
i have my regular 9-5 job at NL50 and NL100 on other sites

And come here to have fun
And when I come home 3am after taking my awesome girlfriend home
I put in 15 minutes of sick grind just to clear that boost and get that extra chest i otherwise wouldn't
then switch it all off don't play for another day or two
